Thanks for posting Newsbot. Yet another reason for people who have MS to stop smoking. Someday there will be a perfect vaccine that will allow people to stop without withdrawal, maybe.

Try having your husband who is a very anti smoker in the room with you while Your Neuro is explaining that smoking accelerates your progression of MS. That was not a good day being a smoker that I am. Now it is NAG NAG NAG.... Like we dont have enough problems to worry about.

I personally think Bot hasn't smoked the right tobacco.

I quit smoking 21 years ago and changed from a svelte, sweet girl to a mean thirty-five pounds heavier fat old lady!!

I still miss it and especially when I get on the scales to see how quitting has affected me.

If you smoke and enjoy it you have my blessing and if you decide to quit go for it but be prepared for some rough times and of course the dreaded weight gain.

If I were still smoking my brain would have happy lesions instead of evil ones!
